I'm not sure this quite qualifies (as I'm a very lowly pre-solo PPL, on a forum with a lot of seriously experienced people, and I suspect I do something stupid pretty much every lesson) but - identifying somewhat with coldair's experience - having for once done a really fairly creditable soft & short field landing in a PA28 with the nose where it should be (i.e. not much visible out front) I heard the stall warner as I decelerated quite nicely and then decided the right action was to push the nose down hard. My instructor was suprisingly polite - I felt like a d!ck !

More seriously, as a very lowly pre-solo PPL, on a forum with a lot of seriously experienced people, I don't think I'm making the same mistake twice (FWIW, I tell those who mean most to me that this is probably the most realistic standard for fallible humans to live up to !)
